The Capitol Theatre

Designed by celebrated architect Thomas Lamb in 1926 and listed in The National Register of Historic Places, The Capitol Theatre is located 30 miles from NYC, accessible by I-95 and only one block from the Port Chester Metro-North train station. The 2,000-capacity theater, known as "the original rock palace,' showcased rock legends such as Traffic, the Grateful Dead, Frank Zappa, Black Sabbath, Chuck Berry, David Bowie, Derek and the Dominos, Janis Joplin, Pink Floyd, and The Rolling Stones. Jerry Garcia once called it his favorite venue, claiming "See, there's only two theaters, man... that are set up pretty groovy all around for music and for smooth stage changes, good lighting and all that - the Fillmore and The Capitol Theatre. And those are the only two in the whole country."
